Subject: Re: Rubyzip - `dup': can't dup NilClass (TypeError)

The 1.57 zipfile on this page fails for me: 
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2441

The Unix unzip command unzips it just fine.

Here's the direct link to the failing zip: 
http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=11978

To test it in irb:

require 'open-uri'
require 'zip/zipfilesystem'
open('http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=11978', 
'rb') { |f| Zip::ZipFile.open(f) }

this dies with:

TypeError: can't dup NilClass
  from rubyzip-0.9.4/lib/zip/zip.rb:1163:in `dup'
  from rubyzip-0.9.4/lib/zip/zip.rb:1163:in `block in dup'
  from rubyzip-0.9.4/lib/zip/zip.rb:1163:in `map'
        ...etc


the zipfiles before 1.57 are fine.  For instance:

require 'open-uri'
require 'zip/zipfilesystem'
open('http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=11524', 
'rb') { |f| Zip::ZipFile.open(f) }

works just fine.


The nil entry is actually being added by read_central_directory_entries 
around line 1250 (I added the raise):

    @entrySet = ZipEntrySet.new
    @size.times {
        @entrySet << ZipEntry.read_c_dir_entry(io) || raise("nil 
entry!")
    }

For some reason, read_c_dir_entry is returning nil.  I haven't tried to 
figure out why since I'm not familiar with the internals of a zipfile.
